“…The quantities and activity of immune cells such as T-lymphocytes ( 8 ), phagocytes ( 23 ), NK cells ( 16 ), and NKT cells ( 5 ) are reduced. In addition, the weights of immune organs/tissues such as the thymus ( 24 ), bone marrow ( 18 ), and spleen ( 14 ) are significantly reduced, and even the genetic material of cells ( 18 ) in bone marrow exhibits obvious adverse changes ( 4 ). The above results indicate that long-term noise exposure can suppress immune function by downregulating various immune components.…”

“…Data from the WHO have shown that noise above 55 dB at night is hazardous to public health ( 2 ). Although the direct relationship between noise and the immune system is unclear, a few studies have recently shown that noise can cause some changes in the immune system ( 4 ), including proliferation of immune cells, secretion of cytokines, production of antibodies, and immunotoxicity, by regulating the HPA axis and other neuroendocrine regulatory axes ( 5 , 6 ). Here, we review the progress regarding the impact of noise on the immune system from the following perspectives: the relationship between noise and the immune system, the correlations between noise and immune diseases, the mechanisms by which noise causes immune system disorders, the intergenerational influence of noise and the beneficial effects of music on the human body.…”

The Immune System Can Hear Noise

As a stressor widely existing in daily life, noise can cause great alterations to the immune system and result in many physical and mental disorders, including noise-induced deafness, sleep disorders, cardiovascular diseases, endocrine diseases and other problems. The immune system plays a major role in maintaining homeostasis by recognizing and removing harmful substances in the body. Many studies have shown that noise may play vital roles in the occurrence and development of some immune diseases. In humans, both innate immunity and specific immunity can be influenced by noise, and different exposure durations and intensities of noise may exert various effects on the immune system. Short-term or low-intensity noise can enhance immune function, while long-term or high-intensity noise suppresses it. Noise can lead to the occurrence of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) through the production of autoantibodies such as anti-Hsp70 and anti-Hsp60 and exert adverse effects related to other immune-related diseases such as some autoimmune diseases and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The neuroendocrine system, mainly including the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the sympathetic-adrenal-medullary (SAM) system, is involved in the mechanisms of immune-related diseases induced by noise and gut microbiota dysfunction. In addition, noise exposure during pregnancy may be harmful to the immune system of the fetus. On the other hand, some studies have shown that music can improve immune function and alleviate the adverse effects caused by noise.

“…Noise may lead to not only physical disorders, such as NIHL, but also to mental damage, which may cause more depression, thereby indirectly exerting adverse effects related to other immune-related diseases such as some autoimmune diseases and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (Zhang et al, 2021). Although the direct relationship between noise and the immune system is unclear, a few studies have recently shown that noise can cause some changes in the immune system (Abouee-Mehrizi et al, 2020), including proliferation of immune cells, secretion of cytokines, production of antibodies, and regulation of immunotoxicity (Kim et al, 2017). The activation and deactivation of these immune-related mechanisms due to simultaneous and non-simultaneous exposure to chemical and physical factors may have caused dissimilar changes in the interaction types of co-exposure to chemical and physical factors (antagonism and synergism).…”

“…Compared with the genetic disposition for human health, environmental exposure is much more easily controlled via pathways that affect what we breathe, eat and drink where we live and work (Brusseau et al, 2006; Popek, 2018). Environmental exposure including physical and chemical factors is the most critical factor in endangering the health of individuals in everyday life, especially in working environments (Abouee-Mehrizi et al, 2020). Although some biochemical, histopathological, and immunological studies have been reported for measuring chemical exposure, such as carbon disulfide and toluene, physical exposure, such as noise, or simultaneous exposure (Abouee-Mehrizi et al, 2021; Chalansonnet et al, 2018), there is a clear need for more studies to assess the genetic effects of environmental exposure in cohorts from the general population and predict the potential hazards for health.…”

GABPB1, known as nuclear respiratory factor 2 (Nrf2), activates the mitochondrial genes that are responsible for antioxidant action and detoxification. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of GABPB1, such as rs7181866 and rs8031031, were reported to be associated with the prevention of the increasing cancer risk caused by environmental deterioration. Between March 1 and May 1, 2018, human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from a cohort of 300 volunteers working in adverse occupational environments were genotyped for the two SNPs in the present study. The SNP rs7181866 was found to be significantly greater in the male group than in the female group. Frequencies of SNP rs7181866 and bi-allele SNPs (rs7181866 + rs8031031) were significantly different between the <35-year-old group and the ≥35-year-old group. Further, multinomial logistic regression analysis of the occupational environments revealed the highest predictive frequency of SNPs for four environmental factors, of which chemical factors accounted for 15.33% rs7181866, physical factors accounted for 34.79% rs7181866 + rs8031031, physical + chemical factors accounted for 39.5% rs8031031, and unknown factors accounted for 26.5% rs7181866 + rs8031031. In conclusion, the G allele of rs7181866 was found to be significantly more susceptible than the rs8031031 allele under adverse occupational environmental factors, and physical factors such as noise, which appear to play vital roles in causing SNP mutations.

“…It has been estimated that half of the population in the UK lives at levels of environmental noise that surpass the standards of the World Health Organization (WHO) [2]. Noise has been described as an unwanted sound that can act as both a physical and a psychological stimulus [3]. It consists of extremely irritating, distracting, or repetitive sounds, which disrupt the ability to concentrate.…”

This study aims to investigate the effects of workplace noise on neural activity and alpha asymmetries of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) during mental stress conditions. Workplace noise exposure is a pervasive environmental pollutant and is negatively linked to cognitive effects and selective attention. Generally, the stress theory is assumed to underlie the impact of noise on health. Evidence for the impacts of workplace noise on mental stress is lacking. Fifteen healthy volunteer subjects performed the Montreal imaging stress task in quiet and noisy workplaces while their brain activity was recorded using electroencephalography. The salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) was measured before and immediately after each tested workplace to evaluate the stress level. The results showed a decrease in alpha rhythms, or an increase in cortical activity, of the PFC for all participants at the noisy workplace. Further analysis of alpha asymmetry revealed a greater significant relative right frontal activation of the noisy workplace group at electrode pairs F4-F3 but not F8-F7. Furthermore, a significant increase in sAA activity was observed in all participants at the noisy workplace, demonstrating the presence of stress. The findings provide critical information on the effects of workplace noise-related stress that might be neglected during mental stress evaluations.
